This is a record of my journey as a Muslim. I used to be Catholic and belonged to a missionary organisation. After my conversion, I sat on the board of a Muslim converts' organisation and specialised in da'wah programmes, convert management, interfaith issues and apostasy cases. I am an initiate of a Sufi order. As such, the articles and writings tend to cover these areas.
All the Arabic and graphics could not have been done without the help of my wife, Zafirah.

Dr. John R. R. Tolkien on Anarchy

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Dr. John R. R.
Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic, and his influence was a significant factor
in the conversion of Clive. S. Lewis from atheism to Christianity, although Dr.
John was dismayed that Lewis chose to become an Anglican.

According to his grandson, Simon Tolkien, Dr. John
Tolkien, in the twilight of his life, was disappointed by some of the
liturgical reforms and changes implemented after the Second Vatican Council,
particularly the change of liturgy from Latin to English. In fact, in Mass, he said the refrain and
responses in Latin, oblivious to the rest of the congregation, who said it in
English.
